for every dollar I don't make is 10 cents they can't tax
for every dollar I don't have is a dollar I can't spend, therefore that's 1 less dollar in the economy and 10 cents they can't tax
i'm not trying to get political but that's only setting themselves up for failure -
unless you are a self sufficient mountain man or cowboy, & I mean completely self sufficient. -
Driver less trucks,self check outs etc....Every time something is automated,jobs are loss.If everything becomes automated,how can we buy all the cool stuff that comes in the trucks?
-
How are you at fixing robots and writing computer programs? Any experience with being a drone pilot? -
Looks like R&R said it better while I was typing. The point is, this isn't a new phenomenon, and it's not the end of the world, if it happens at all. Just have to adapt to changes as they happen. -
wait,
they can probably spend $200K per self-driving truck, but it will save $30K a year in wages per person
that adds up -
Wages, insurance, workers comp ins, no employee training, no bonuses, etc
Equipment can break down, but it does not get sick, tired, or have family emergencies.
You are looking at initial cost vs long term cost
If there wasnt money to be made or saved, no one would be wasting any time or effort on further developmenteeb Thanks this. -
Well, the truck can probably run 24/7, so that's two or three people. Plus all the 'safety features' will likely net a discounted insurance rate, once proven. The truck will likely last more than one year, so yeah, to the accountants, it adds up, at least the way the salesperson describes it.
